The next 007 movie
SKYFALL
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15558355 3 November 2011 Last updated at 08:07 ET Bond film called Skyfall By Tim Masters, Entertainment and arts correspondent, BBC News The title of the 23rd James Bond film has been confirmed as Skyfall. The latest 007 adventure will star Daniel Craig for the third time. Leading ladies have been confirmed as French actress Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris. Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for 1999's American Beauty. Mendes said the storyline will take the secret agent to London, China, Turkey and Scotland. It will see Bond's loyalty tested to M, his superior, while espionage headquarters MI6 faces an attack. The movie, which sees the return of Dame Judi Dench as spy boss M, will also star Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Javier Bardem as the villain of the piece. It will be released in the UK on 26 October 2012. Craig told reporters in London that the cast would start filming sequences for the new movie later on Thursday. Much speculation about the new film has focused on what Mendes will bring to the franchise, with some suggesting he will tone down - or even abandon altogether - the action sequences. But the director denied that this was the case. He told reporters in London that the "fantastic script" had "all the elements of a classic Bond movie, including - to quell any rumours - lots of action". When asked what fans could expect from the latest film, he added: "The movie will reveal everything, and there's lots of surprises." Producer Barbara Broccoli said no-one had yet been chosen to write and perfom the Bond theme tune. Financial troubles Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie, 1962's Dr No. James Bond is one of the longest-running franchises in film history, but Bond 23 will mark the end of a four year gap. The last 007 outing was in 2008's Quantum of Solace, directed by Marc Forster. Work on the 23rd film was suspended in April 2010 because of uncertainty over the company's future. The franchise had been on hold amid financial troubles, with MGM filing for bankruptcy protection last November. A rescue deal and restructuring plan put US firm Spyglass Entertainment at the helm of MGM, which had struggled due to several box office flops and a DVD sales slump. Craig - who made his Bond debut in Casino Royale in 2006 - is the sixth actor to play the British secret agent in the official Bond series. Sir Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan preceded him in the iconic role. Casino Royale, was the most successful instalment in the franchise's 49-year history, making $594m (£385m) worldwide. Last edited by Frankie; 11-03-2011 at 09:34 AM.. |

Brosnan would most certainly have banged every chick in the room but he was given shit scripts with lame action segments. I think he could have pulled off Craig's trilogy with ease. That said, Craig has been phenomenal, IMO. |

Disagree. I'm on record as not being a big fan of Connery, but Craig was the first Bond for me that really nailed that, especially the "kill every man in this room" bit. I'd be scare of Craig's Bond unlike any of the others.

Moore, Dalton and Brosnan, were obviously more debonair type Bonds, less physical.

Craig is the best Bond IMO.

Craig's Bond seems the most capable but the least polished.
I think Brosnan had the most suave, debonair Bond look. Like, I'd honestly be worried he might **** my wife or some shit. |

This one I WANTED him to win and wasn't sure how he would. And there is some of the most breathtaking imagery to go along with a rip-roaring tale. And for any Bardem detractors, he seemed a seamless mix of Hannibal Lector, Jason Bourne and The Terminator. Sociopathy, skill and determination. DEFINITELY my favorite Bond villian.
Spoiler!
was a lone cheesy note, but was necessary to move the narrative forward.

I think Skyfall was the best of Craig's Bonds so far with Casino Royale not too far behind it. I enjoy watching Quantom of Solace, but it's obviously not as good as the other two.
I also agree on Bardem; he was a great Bond villain. Moreso than that pansy Greene or whatever from QoS. |
